Jerry O'Connell Showed Up as a Sentient Head of Lettuce and We're Still Recovering

Jerry O'Connell walked into Live With Kelly and Mark on October 30th dressed as a full-on head of lettuce, and honestly, it's the kind of bit that lives rent-free in your brain whether you want it to or not.

The whole thing played as a callback to something from back in the day—one of those reference costumes that makes sense if you were there for it, less so if you weren't. But that's kind of the point, right? Halloween at that level of visibility becomes about the joke between the host and the guest, and the rest of us are just trying to figure out what we're looking at.
